My Project

Kindergarteners are funny, smart, inquisitive, and...rough! They fly right through materials! It isn't their fault; these children are learning how to be in school for the first time and everything is new and exciting. But that means I am consistently making new materials.

I am requesting the laminator, laminating sheets, and cardstock paper so I can make materials that will last for years to come!

I would love the opportunity to make high-quality games and activities for the children that will not have to be remade every year. This will help give me the time to focus on all the other aspects of planning and preparing.

Thank you in advance!
